The thing is that you can build non expanding tuples on top of
expanding ones, not the other way around. So I think the

should have buitin expanding tuples (and renamed something else
than tuple).
Wait what?
template ExpandingArgList(T...) // assuming T is non-expanding
{
alias ExpandingArgList = T.expand;
}
The auto expand require compiler support. The non expanding
behavior can be modeled on top of the auto expanding one.
The problem we have goes as follow to me:
- We call the expanding construct tuple, which confuse everybody.
- We lack some syntactic sugar to auto expand tuples. I proposed
a solution for auto unpacking random stuffs.
I do think this approach is superior.
